Geographical Cocktail

Monkey in Winter. When Jean Gabin gets drunk he thinks he is back in China. When Jean-Paul Belmondo gets drunk he thinks he is back in Spain. When they both get drunk in a village on the coast of Normandy the customer may sometimes wonder where in the world he is and why he isn't somewhere else. After a few hundred shots he will probably begin to giggle more or less continuously, even though he knows he will be sorry in the morning. Gabin is a merry old soak. He is also the grand old man of French films. He began his career as the Clark Gable of Gaul; he is ending it as Wallace Beery in a beret.
